Great benefits for interns. However, you may experience long hours or boring work depending on the team
Worked as a Software Engineering Intern in their R&D department this summer.
They have a really good internship program (rated top 5 in the tech industry or something) with great benefits. They pay well and provide housing really close to the campus.
Also, the HR department organizes ample events to keep interns busy on weekends (beach days, bonfires, etc).
Workwise, the R&D department seems to have the most talent in the company. My coworkers all had Masters/PhD, which made me feel out of place.
Some of my friends in QCT (their commercial division) complained about long hours or boring projects. They'd just spend their summer writing test cases. Personally, I enjoyed my project, so I guess it totally depends on the team.
Also, for R&D, to join full-time, they require you to interview again at the end of your internship. Just a heads-up.
Give more choices to interns on what teams they want. I was just assigned a team randomly; I think I just got lucky.
